Artist in Blackpool? (5)

I believe the answer is:

blake

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'artist in blackpool?' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

This is the entire clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for blake that I've seen before include "artistic poet" , "English poet and artist, d. 1827" , "William -, (Jerusalem)" , "Songs of Innocence poet" , "Exposed (to the air)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
